    Work started June 2020 Completed Aug. 2020 We have enjoyed our newly remodeled pool for 3 months, and all we can say is, "Love it!" We interviewed three pool remodel companies. So glad we selected So Cal Pool Plaster. Thierry was professional, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. He made the stressful remodel process easy. His crews were always on time, super-efficient, and friendly. Communication was always easy. They honestly listened to our requests ensuring our requests were completed and/or exceeded our specifications. The pool remodel consisted of: * New coping, no poured cement, molded and dyed to our color specification (Omaha Tan). Each piece was hand cut to beautifully surround the pool. * New tile * New pebble bottom with extra glass beads and abalone shell to produce beautiful sparkly blue water. * Upgraded drains brought to code. * New Belgard Catalina Grana pavers (color Toscana). All work was done at a reasonable price within a reasonable time frame. We never felt like we were being price gouged nor were there any "surprise" additional charges. We highly recommend Thierry and his crew members including Efrain (lead), Adrian, Caesar, Francisco (lead), and his brother who did a great job installing the pool water level. Thank you!!

    Thierry Bare Owner of So Cal Pool Plaster, is the worst contractor to choose for your pool project, He pretends he has so much experience, and knowledge in the industry, He claimed he has a full crew he is far from that! Unfortunately we decide to move forward and hire him to remodel our pool and spa. We realized after the project started, he was never around, He turned out to be just a subcontractor, and hires other people to do the work! He never obtained proper permit for the job, He has one of the worst customer service ethics, After his subcontractor started the demolition of tile and plaster on my pool and spa, A different crew of 2 showed up late in the afternoon few days, to prep the pool for tile installation, The following morning only one guy showed up, and started installing the new tile, With no proper equipment what so ever, no level, no tile saw to cut the tile, Just eyeballing thing, The guy did not even have a proper ladder or scaffold to reach the high area in the deep end of the pool, He proceeded using 2 plastic buckets with a 2X4 to stand on with his hands above his head trying to install the tile on the spa spillway wall! The guy was not a tile installer, After the day ended, and the worker left, I inspected his work it was absolutely horrible, The tile was miss aligned, installed unevenly, high and low spots, almost an inch of space behind the last row of tile around most of the entire pool, And tiles were already falling of the wall the next day! That evening I called Thierry Bare to share my disappointment with the poor quality of the workmanship his installer was doing, And I was blown a way with his respond that this is how it's going to be, and he will not correct anything! And refused to even come out to the job site to inspect the poor work his installer is doing, and he told me if am not happy that's to bad and hanged up the phone on me!!! After many text back and forth, I informed him to either make the corrections, or I have to find another contractor to do the job correct, and complete the project, He informed me that would be fine and he abandoned the project. Please think twice about hiring this contractor, And don't get fooled by his his misleading 5 stars reviews! After all that was the reason I decided to hire him, come to find out the hard way what kind of contractor he is. I have attached photos to document the type of wok this crook does for a tile and plaster job exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars.

    But now I'm glad I went with my gut feeling to go with SoCal Pool Plaster when I talked to Thierry.

    I moved into a new house with a pool earlier this year. I have never had a house with a pool so I…read morehired Jun to maintain it. His prices and services are great. He was upfront on what would be expected of me and what he would do weekly/yearly. I had no idea what a pool needed. He explained that the pump needs to be run at least 6 hours a day to circulate the water. He would come weekly to test the water, clean the pool and check the small filter (and probably other things I forgot about). Yearly, he puts conditioner in (he explained what it does but I can't remember). A couple months ago, my pool started to turn slightly green. He put some other chemicals in to help it. But it didn't work. So he checked my big filter and told me it needed a cleaning . He and another guy came that weekend and cleaned it. After he was done, he texted and explained everything he did to the filter and pool and what I needed to do to make sure the water clears up. By the next day, the pool started to clear up. Within a couple days, it was back to normal. He's very responsive and helpful. He comes when I'm at work so I usually text him if I need anything or have questions. He speaks English but is also fluent in Korean. Totally hire this guy/company if you need a pool guy!

    We hired Platinum Pools after weeks of meeting with and getting bids from lots of (both big and…read moresmall) pool building companies.  This being our first pool, we wanted to make sure we made the right decision on a contractor.   From the first phone call we felt very comfortable with Dennis (also the owner).  He was very knowledgeable and came out (himself vs sending a sales person like many of the other companies did) the very next day to visit the site and meet.  From that initial meeting we knew he was our guy and the hunt was over.  He was knowledgeable, realistic, and we felt we could trust him and his work.  He even offered to take us to jobs he completed nearby to see the workmanship and speak to other past clients.     Once we signed the contract with Dennis, we hit the ground running.  We met with his designer/plan preparer the very next day.  The designer (and Dennis) was able to take my (crazy and all over the place) ideas and vision and turn it into something better than I imagined.  We even added a built-in fire pit and BBQ counter to the design which I am SOOO happy we did.    Within days after permits in hand, demo began and everything moved quickly.  His crews are polite and respectful and know what they are doing.  Their mason (I think his name is Sergio) is a true artist and my kids loved watching how patient and particular he completed each task from installing the pool tiles and coping to building the BBQ area.   Unfortunately, it rained for about a week after the steel was installed in the pool so we had to put things on hold for a few extra days until it passed.  Once the rain was gone, Dennis and the project manager Deny were here bright and early with water pumps and had the project back on track in no time.     Before hiring Platinum Pools I had already picked out the tile that I wanted to use to go around the pool area that I saw in a showroom at MSI.  I didn't even think about how slippery this could get once water gets involved (later I realized the tile I wanted was for indoor use only, I had no idea there was a difference).  We are so grateful Dennis and his awesome designer brought this to our attention at our initial meeting and recommended a porcelain tile by Pera Tile that is made specifically for pool decking... it has a special magic grip already added to it so its WAY less slippery when wet.  It looks almost exactly the same (I actually like it better) and it was less expensive!   It would have been a nightmare going with the tile I was set on having kids running around the pool area.   Needless to say, our experience with Platinum Pools has beyond exceeded our expectations.  Our finished backyard looks amazing!  Dennis and/or Deny were in constant communication with us, kept us in the loop of the scheduling, what to expect, answered our questions in a way we could understand, and even got the project completed two weeks faster then promised.  From the initial meeting, to the designer, their crews, to the final walkthrough we have been impressed.  We are so glad we choose Dennis and recommend Platinumm Pools to anyone looking to upgrade their space

    Just wanted to say thank you to the team for bringing my backyard to life. They built my new pool,…read morespa, patio, and full landscape from the ground up. The quality, communication, and attention to detail were on point. Highly recommend if you want it done right and correct price.
